Respect and Awe

I have a new respect for any woman who has ever given birth after witnessing my first delivery. I had never seen so much blood or pain before in my life. I knew I loved my wife virtually from the moment we met but had no idea of how tough she was. Now, I am in awe of her resiliency. She bounced back from a gory spectacle and tremendous blood loss to immediately wanting to hold our baby even as the doctor was still stitching her up. I love my wife now more than ever. There are not sufficient words to describe our love for our new baby.
